The seeds provided are not isolated. To ensure diversity in your crop, it is advisable to cultivate several plants from each seed variety. In the realm of pepper hybrids, achieving complete seed isolation is often not feasible. Even well-established hybrid varieties, including those in the F7 generation, can exhibit traits from recessive genes or display instability. Therefore, seeds from these peppers might not always yield the expected varieties. In my cultivation practices, I encourage natural pollination by allowing bees and wasps, including those from my own beekeeping activities, to pollinate the plants, which may also encourage
cross-breeding.
It is important to note that pepper generations from F2 to F7 can be considered unstable, with the F2 and F3 generations particularly prone to producing a wide range of phenotypes. Buyers should select the phenotypes that best suit their needs and preferences. If you are considering naming a new variety, it is advisable to develop it through at least the F4 generation to ensure its traits are reproducible.
